DisruptiveTech : Idea: Hosted Pre-Release Splash Pages

Wed, 14 May 2008 13:04:31 +0000

Hi Kevin - sorry for the confusion about web2splash - one of these days maybe we'll get around to putting up a FAQ. Anyhow if you point your nameservers for your domain to ns1.web2splash.com / ns2.web2splash.com, or you can create DNS entries for www and the domain root to point to www.web2splash.com (67.207.133.126). If that doesn't work, we might need to chat a bit further about your problem. Hope this helps.

DisruptiveTech : Opposition to Internet Monitoring

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 06:51:37 +0000

Liz, I'm referring to using SSH (secure shell) to securely connect to a computer outside your corporate network, and then using Windows Remote Desktop (available in XP Pro) to take over that computer's screen and keyboard. By using this setup all your internet traffic is conducted on the remote computer's network. It may sound technical, but it's really not that hard to setup. See the references to sites I added in the article

: It's Alive! And It Has Babies! StartupWeekend is 6 Weekends Old.

Great post, Micah, and ditto goes for Gwen. Sometimes I feel the biggest takeaway from StartupWeekends won't be realized for some time to come and it may not have anything to do with community or startups. Additionally, I feel that while starting up real companies is difficult it seems a body of knowledge is being assembled at each SW that has the potential to change the way startups are started, or how large groups of people interact. Take Henry Ford and the combustion engine. Certainly back in those days, it may have seemed ludicrous to even consider assembling a combustion engine in a weekend. Now, factories spit them out like hotcakes. Combustion engines too simplistic? How about Boeing and their 737 - 11 day assembly time (2005 figure). Perhaps some day in the near future we'll look back with our Go Fast Jet Pack and our pewter likenesses of Andrew Hyde brandishing his favorite Trident in our living rooms, and just laugh as we tell our kids the stories of old...

DisruptiveTech : SW Toronto: A Meeting

Brill, I agree 100% with Andrew's post on SW Toronto. I also believe it's a very level-headed analysis of what went down during the weekend (it's good that he's had some time to think this over). In the end I believe a small group of "managers" got desperate and greedy, overplanned the event, and lost sight of the greater communal purpose. More in my next SW Toronto Recap post.
